ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When you renew your passport while holding a retirement visa in Thailand, you do not need to reapply for the visa. Instead, you must take both your new and old passport to the immigration office that issued your visa and request a transfer of the visa to your new passport. This process is generally free. However, it is advisable to have updated financial documents, like bank statements, to prove you still meet the visa requirements.
